Snow Test for Enyru the Rescue Robot

Japanese Company Tmusk has been "snow testing" its Enyru robot. Enyru - which means "rescue dragon" in Japanese - was developed to help in earthquake rescue. Tmusk hope that it will also be able to help in clearing snow and reaching avalanche survivors.

The robot is over 11 foot tall, weighs 11 tons and has two 15 foot long hydraulic arms. It also has seven cameras, a tank style tread and is operated by remote control.

I almost feel sorry for the snow.


Welcome fellow robot fans (is "robophile" a real word?). On this blog I'm going to indulge my love of all things robotic. I'll cover "serious" news - technology, industrial robotics, etc - but my main interest is the "fun" stuff. Household robots, robotic pets, that sort of cool stuff. Enjoy.
